Israel’s security cabinet has approved the entry of President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace into Gaza, according to the reported decision on Sunday. The body is intended to help oversee the territory in the postwar period, marking a potentially significant step in discussions about how Gaza could be managed after the fighting.
The move was approved just one day before Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is due to travel to Washington for talks with Trump. That timing places the Gaza decision in the middle of a broader diplomatic moment, with attention focused on how Israel and the United States may coordinate on next-stage arrangements for the enclave.
Alongside the Board of Peace, the cabinet decision also allows a small multinational peacekeeping force to enter Gaza. It further opens the way for a Palestinian technocratic committee, suggesting that the emerging framework could combine international supervision, security involvement and Palestinian administrative participation.
The plan was not backed unanimously. National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir objected to the move, highlighting internal disagreement within Israel’s leadership over the shape of any postwar Gaza arrangement. The cabinet’s approval nonetheless signals support for advancing a governance and security model that includes outside actors as well as a Palestinian civilian component.
